What Remains

Today marks the International Day of Clean Energy – a day not just about energy policies or fossil fuels, but power that LASTS.

That doesn’t deplete. That doesn’t scorch.

About how power systems (literal and otherwise), should be designed to last beyond their tenure.

Power that remains saffolds, not harms.

Power

Responsibility that lingers

Way beyond its tenure

Does not speak

Just seems.

🌱💡🕊️

Refreshed

No fodder

Does not scorch the ground

It walks

Safe space.

🌱💡🕊️

The lamp still glows

When dawn breaks

The heat does not scorch –

just warms.

🌱💡🕊️

Roaring flames soften

The brightness lowers.

True power resides,

Not lives.

🌱💡🕊️

Power

Scaffolds with its strength

Stays without drain

Or harm.

🌱💡🕊️

Lasts.

🌱💡🕊️
